Tuesday night in downtown Tampa, the Occupy Tampa protesters prepared for their third night sleeping on a public sidewalk outside Curtis Hixon Park. But officers from the Tampa Police Department showed up to warn them that, despite whatever agreement was previously made between the police and protesters, they could not continue to sleep there.

Later they removed many belongings and kept moving on the sidewalk. Just before 8 this morning, there were still thirty people on the sidewalk sleeping, having breakfast and sweeping up. Becky Rubright with Occupy Tampa said the police didnât return overnight.
